Heh. $14.95. Sold!
Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to be on my toes.
Invite a retard to a picnic and you'd better expect to get drool in the potato salad.

How ironic!
Poor thing survived for 100 years, didn't last too long after humans interfered.

Wow, that was a beast, eh? Looked like it was out of a bad Godzilla movie. "The Attack of Lobstra!" Heh.
And we went and killed it. Very ironic indeed.
Anyway, I bet it would have tasted lousy, being a hundred years old and all.
Long ago, lobsters were so plentiful that Native Americans used them to fertilize their fields and to bait their hooks for fishing. In colonial times, lobsters were considered "poverty food." They were harvested from tidal pools and served to children, to prisoners, and to indentured servants, who exchanged their passage to America for seven years of service to their sponsors. In Massachusetts, some of the servants finally rebelled. They had it put into their contracts that they would not be forced to eat lobster more than three times a week.
^ Makes perfect sense, about being fed to prisoners and such. After all, they're basically roaches of the sea. And now rich people pay ridiculous prices to eat them. More irony.

I grew up a few miles away from Wholey's in Pittsburgh and still go there often when I go back.
